How many of those were MS first party games? and of those how many were actually brand new game announcements and not expansions or some other variation on an existing title or gameplay from a title we had only seen CGI of before? Also counting games from studios MS bought but had nothing to do with the development of doesn't really count, those games were already far enough along that showing them wasn't a problem.
So the criteria is now only first party games, during the first reveal, no expansions and MS needs to have owned the studio from day 1 of the game’s development. Any other house rules I should know about? And why do those only apply to MS when all other companies can show third party games or games that are developed as exclusives by third parties?
In the end I don’t care what your metric is, feel free to remove all you want and keep the rest - my point remains the same.
Edit: let’s apply those rules to the last Sony State of Play:
- Pragmata: 3rd party, doesn’t count;
- Exoprimal: 3rd party, doesn’t count;
- Ghostwire Tokyo: 3rd party, doesn’t count;
- Stranger of paradise: 3rd party, doesn’t count;
- Forspoken: 3rd party, doesn’t count;
- Gundam Évolution: 3rd party, doesn’t count;
- Ninja turtles: 3rd party, doesn’t count;
- Giga Bash: 3rd party, doesn’t count;
- Jojo all star battle: 3rd party, doesn’t count;
- Trek to Yomi: 3rd party, doesn’t count;
- Returnal: expansion / patch;
- Valkyrie Elysium : 3rd party, doesn’t count.
So that’s a total of… zero eligible game?
